On Monday, August 10, 2015, the Town Council voted to approve the resolution to move forward with "Option 17", the termed name for the conceptual design of the new Stratford High School. The concept will provide a new academic building on the east side of King Street and a renovated and expanded civic building on the west side, where the current school sits. The approved concept brings along several advantages and will result in a new gymnasium, new auditorium, and maximized outdoor athletic field.

The efforts of all involved to get to this point are greatly appreciated. The design team will now move further into the schematic design of the academic and civic portions of the building.
